My boyfriend, Jack, and I have been in a LDR for exactly 2 ears and 7 months. He lives in Dublin Ireland and I live in Philadelphia, PA, which usually provokes a large gasp from unknowing people. This letter was a love note he wrote to me on our two year anniversary, right after we had spent a week together and then separated.

“To my sweetheart:

The way you can make me smile no matter how i’m feeling is crazy. I know i cried kinda a lot when i left you…i pretty much burst into tears that were impossible being held back after you got into the car. Heh, impossible because every time i see you, i fall even more in love with you…impossible because i already loved you enough to cry the first time i left you. But even still, your notes you secretly slipped into my wallet just make me forget everything and make me smile again. And you are literally the one and only girl in the whole entire universe who could ever have that effect on me. You know me. You always know how i feel. You care about me. You love me, Allie! You make me the happiest, luckiest, most madly in love person in the world…all because you return my love with every bit of emotion you have, through tears and smiles we love each other…and one day, those tears will be the happy ones trying to fall at each others feet while we’re finally together…while we’re standing at an altar getting married…while we’re watching our little kids grow up…but they’ll never fall because we’ll both be there to catch them. Forever and ever, i’ll be there for you when you’re happy and sad. One day we’ll be together, i believe it more than ever every time we’re together…because every time we hold each other, we both squeeze so tight that i know neither of us ever wants to let go. We both want it….we both want our lives to be intertwined as physically as it is emotionally. And it will be Allie….i promise it will be!

In two months at the very most, we’ll be in each others loving embrace again….and considering it’ll probably take at least that amount of time of going back and forth over IM to set up our web-cams…maybe it won’t even seem like anything at all. Heh…

I am so in love with you sweetheart…and that will never change. I will fall for you more and more as forever and ever unravels into eternity. You are my love. :)”

Ok, well me and my girlfriend met while she was an exchange student last year at my high school. She is now back in her home country of Slovakia but we are actually doing really well in are LDR Anyways I’m not sure if I can answer this contest with something I did for her but she was extremely happy when I did the thing I did!

Me and my gf would always joke around a lot and be silly so every time we would go to Walmart she would always have to stop by the little machines where you put 2 quarters in and you get these sticky hands and these funny little rings. She really loved them and we would always each buy some then I would try to stick her with my sticky hand and she would try to me. Or sometimes we would go down the road trying to hit cars with them at stoplights together haha.

So anyways her last night, she was with me here in the USA. We were at Walmart and she tried on this Eeyore night gown thing, or whatever it was, but I found out she liked Eeyore a lot from Winnie the Pooh.
When she went back to Slovakia, I really wanted to send her something that would mean something to her. So I bought this really big stuffed Eeyore and I bought a bunch of those rings and sticky hands!
I tied a little bag to the Eeyore’s arm and put all the rings and sticky hands in there. I sent it to her and it ended up costing me almost like 100 dollars for everything to get it there but I didn’t care.

The funny thing was that her family and her weren’t home the day it was supposed to come so they called her and told her they would bring a package to her the next day. She thought the whole time it was a package from her host parents she had while in the USA and I kept playing it off like I had no clue what it could be.

The next morning she was soo happy and it made me incredibly happy just that she was happy!!
